Jack Howitzer's earliest known films (Evacuator and Push-Up) were released in 1984. He also appears on the radio that year in a commercial for [[Little Lacy Surprise]] and as an imaging voice on [[Emotion 98.3]]. In 1986 he reappears in another new film (a sequel to Evacuator called Ex

ploder: Evacuator Part II), followed by three more films released between 1986 and 1992 (Annihilator, Zero Seconds to Death Time, and Loincloth). Howitzer also frequently used [[wp:Anabolic Steroids|Steroids]] during his film career, leading to many film critics and talk show hosts mocking the fact they had apparently shrunk his genitals. By 1989 Howitzer's popularity had eventually declined and his career slowed down, with Howitzer's latest film (Special Needs Cop), being released in 1992. Along with his career downturn, he has also become confused, believing that his movies were real and still retaining his 1980s anti-communist mindset, even claiming the [[wp:Soviet Union|"Reds"]] could still attack (despite the fact the Soviet Union had collapsed a year earlier, in 1991).
 
Jack Howitzer's earliest known films, ''[[Evacuator]] ''and ''[[Push-Up - The Movie|Push-Up]]'', were released in 1984. He also appears on the radio that year in a commercial for [[Little Lacy Surprise]] and as an imaging voice on [[Emotion 98.3]]. In 1986 he appeared in the ''Evacuator'' sequel, titled ''[[Exploder: Evacuator Part II]]''. In the next three years, he appeared in films titled ''Annihilator, Zero Seconds to Death Time ''and ''Loin Cloth.'' Howitzer also frequently used [[wp:Anabolic Steroids|Steroids]] during his film career, leading to many film critics and talk show hosts mocking the fact they had apparently shrunk his genitals.


He was interviewed on [[West Coast Talk Radio|WCTR's]] Entertaining America show where he accidentally and fatally shot host [[Billy Dexter]] (Jack thought that his gun wasn't loaded). Jack was later put on trial for murder and faced the death penalty, although the outcome of the trial is not revealed. When interviewed by WCTR in a Los Santos prison awaiting trial, he admits to killing the original [[Ho Chi]] from the Exploder movies. The [[Panjit Gavaskar|host]] of [[Radio Del Mundo]] mentions Howitzer's name in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]].
By 1989 Howitzer's popularity had eventually declined and his career slowed down. His film ''Special Needs Cop ''was to debut in 1992, which was a severely politically incorrect action film. He also became delusional, believing that his movies were real and the [[wp:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]] could still attack (despite the fact they had collapsed a year earlier, in 1991).

==GTA IV Era==
In the GTA IV Era, a news website in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] reveals that Howitzer instead served 15 years alive in prison for shooting Dexter, was paroled by 2008, and was now set to have his own reality show. (Although main characters from [[GTA III Era]] were confirmed not to appear in [[GTA IV Era]], celebrities such as [[Lazlow]] and [[Derek the Dodo]] are reused entirely in canon)
In the GTA IV Era, it is stated in an article on a news website in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] that Jack was in prison at one point and was paroled by 2008. It should be noted, however, that the [[GTA IV Era]] is not related to the [[GTA III Era]], despite the information available in GTA IV corresponding to that of the GTA III Era.
